Posts: 3
I am a 24 year old woman, US immigrant. I have always been on the higher ende of average BMI/ slightly overweight since after puberty. However I moved to America, dietary changes and sitting on my butt all day long made me tip over into being obese. Now I find myself struggling in a body I am not used to. I have attempted to lose weight several times. My most successive i have been was dropping 20 pounds, but i gained it all back. I am trying again. I really hope to get it right this time. Would appreciate some feedback about people who have experienced the same or similar.

Ice what you are experiencing is common. While it may not be what you need I basically cut out all carbs as in sugar, grains which is often processed CARBS. After I lost a few pounds I am watching the impact of adding back some fruit like oranges and banana to see the impact on my sugar, ketones and weight levels.
This time I am trying to stay away from processed Carbs so that alone can lead to calorie restriction because I am eating high fat (about 80%) and about 15% protein.
Be aware everyone is different and some of the thoughts on the internet can even be dangerous for another. Do you have access to a medical clinic? If you have ANY medical conditions known or unknown dieting can be dangerous doing without at least a physical. Do you know your fasting blood glucose level?

Thanks Gale, I will try to get a consultation about my weight and hope that I dont have some underlying medical problem0

My goal is 50 lbs also. I was down to 155 2 years ago and somehow 50 pounds crept back on (okay, I'm lazy and I love food....not healthy food). I've struggled with weight all my life and it's always a yo-yo for me. Be sure to keep track of what you eat (this website has a great tracking tool to hold you accountable) and watch your calories. I started walking 3 miles a day and am slowly integrating more cardio into my workout plan to get back down. Down 7 lbs in 2 weeks. Good luck!0

7 pounds in 2 weeks is no easy feat. Congrats and keep up the good work. Could only hope for the same. Will be starting some excercise classes 5 times a week at the gym. Also got a friend of mine who has the same goal. we will see what happens? goodluck0
